Now it's time to speak about Suppliers.
The relationship between you and your manufacturers is most likely the most critical in your business. If your connection with your suppliers is strained, you have a situation that a possible buyer for your business will not want to inherit!
Take a step back and imagine you don't own your business for a time. You're deciding whether to purchase this business.
When you purchase this business, you will inherit the relationship with the manufacturing partners or suppliers. You will not only inherit the relationship, but also everything about the partnership. Contracts, payment conditions, quality, punctuality, originality, and inventiveness are all important considerations.
Would you be delighted to inherit something like such?
Would you acquire a strong friendship full of goodwill and a genuine will to go the additional mile and collaborate for mutual benefit? Or will you end up with a stale, if not sour, relationship in which neither partner is cooperating?
Listen to this episode and find out how you can build a strong supplier relationship that will make your business more profitable, and sellable. -

Ecom Made Easy with Ben Leonard - the simple strategy to get people to love your e-commerce brand, from an expert who has actually been there and done it!
Episode Description:
In 2016, I nearly failed at the start of my e-commerce journey. I was signed off work and had to recover due to a heart problem. I was in a tough spot back then, but that heart problem turned out to be a blessing. It was the spark I needed to begin my entrepreneurial journey and build something revolutionary with e-commerce.
While I was starting out, I started to dig into Facebook groups, listen to podcasts, watch videos of these so-called ecom gurus and read Reddit. The narrative there was to use 'hacks' and 'quick fixes' to make a bunch of money on Amazon.
I ALMOST subscribed to these ideas, but I'm glad I listened to my gut feeling.
You see, tools and hacks are not the way to go. If you're just starting out in e-commerce, don't be fooled by the hacks and shortcuts that are touted as the key to success. Sure, they may work in some cases but more often than not they will lead to disappointment.
Instead, focus on creating something of quality that solves a real problem. Create a strong brand identity that'll gain you loyal and repeat customers. Build a community with whom you can inspire and provide value through your social media content.
Start small, be smart and take calculated risks. -

In this episode of Exits Made Easy, Ben Leonard (Co-Founder of Ecom Brokers) talked about the fifth aspect of The Seven Foundations of Value - Diversity.
This is Part 5 of the 7-Part Seven Foundations of Value Mini-Series brought to you by Exits Made Easy, an Ecom Made Easy sister show.
We've covered timing, stability, documentation, and defensibility, and now it's time to speak about diversification. We touched a bit on diversification in the last episode about defensibility. The two topics are closely related.
Diversification reduces the risk for a buyer and makes the business a more attractive proposition. For example, diversification across the number of SKUs you offer, your sales channels, your international markets and your traffic sources.
In this episode, I discussed each of these aspects in detail. The common theme in this video is, "do not put all your eggs in one basket". I hope you'll find this helpful. -

In this episode of Exits Made Easy, Ben Leonard (Co-Founder of Ecom Brokers) talked about the third aspect of The Seven Foundations of Value - Defensibility.
This is Part 4 of the 7-Part Seven Foundations of Value Mini-Series brought to you by Exits Made Easy, an Ecom Made Easy sister show.
To sell your empire, you must defend it. Defensibility means reducing the risk associated with just another e-commerce business. Do you have a brand or are you just selling stuff? Is a buyer going to look at your business and say, "well, we could just copy that". Yes, your business ain't defensible. Or will they say, "the patents around these unique products are very attractive to us? No one can copy this." Now that is defensible.
Ask yourself, what can you do to strengthen your business? How can you build a moat around it to boost its defensibility? That’s what I shared in this episode. I hope you'll find this helpful! -

In this episode of Exits Made Easy, Ben Leonard (Co-Founder of Ecom Brokers) talked about the third aspect of The Seven Foundations of Value - Documentation.
This is Part 3 of the 7-Part Seven Foundations of Value Mini-Series brought to you by Exits Made Easy, an Ecom Made Easy sister show.
It can be tempting to avoid proper record keeping and just save stuff anywhere, but don't, it could, in theory, cost you millions when it comes to selling your business. So what is documentation and why does it matter when you are building your business to make it sellable and valuable?
That’s what I shared in this episode. I hope you'll find this helpful! -

In this episode of Exits Made Easy, Ben Leonard (Co-Founder of Ecom Brokers) talked about the second aspect of the Value Pyramid - Stability. When you are building your business, regardless of whether you want to sell it very soon, or in the distant future – you ought to be thinking of how to build value intrinsically into it. So that it becomes part of the DNA of your business.
Your business needs to be stable – but what do we mean by that? This is Part 2 of the 7-Part Seven Foundations of Value Mini-Series brought to you by Exits Made Easy, an Ecom Made Easy sister show. -

(Ben) In this episode Ecom Made Easy, I thought it would be fun to make an episode about how I came up with my idea for my first brand. And hopefully, it will inspire you too.
This is the one thing I want you to remember in this episode:
When you see something in the world that sucks, you’re actually seeing an opportunity. Steve Jobs, the guy behind Apple, put it like this, “Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again.”
We live in a time when you can learn and do almost anything you want. Just give yourself permission to start :) -

In this episode of Exits Made Easy, an Ecom Made Easy sister show, Ben Leonard (Co-Founder of Ecom Brokers) talked about the first aspect of the Value Pyramid - Timing. When it comes to exit planning, timing is very important. The whole point of exit planning is to prepare the business so that it is in the best possible position to get you the best possible deal.
So when it comes to timing, you need to ask yourself – how does the timing of selling this business impact the value a buyer would be willing to pay for it, and how does it make the business more or less attractive to a potential buyer? Keep on listening and make sure you take notes! -
